Episode 98: Breathing Harmony into Life (feat. Yury Opendik)

Send us Fan MailIf there is one thing that life has taught me up until this point, it’s that anything can happen. This notion of anything being able to happen at any moment, when we really sit into it, is one of the main reasons so many of us are experiencing challenges in our state of being, such as anxiety, paranoia & agitation, to name but a few. These all stem from an overactive sympathetic nervous system, which is classically referred to as the “fight or flight” system within our bodies. While we cannot control the outside world, we can learn to control our reactions towards it & one of the best practices I have found for this includes cold water exposure & the art of breathwork. In our current time in history, I feel it is more important than ever for people to be aware of these types of practices, especially considering they do not require money for us to explore & is the reason why I am SO fired up about todays guest on the show. He is a certified Wim Hof facilitator, hosting workshops across the country to empower each individual he works with with the ability to not only control his or her nervous system, but to literally become the eye of the storm in their lives, which allows for heightened presence, confidence & awareness of their own state of being. In addition, he is also a yoga teacher & a highly skilled CHEK practitioner, which allows him to have a unique skill to bestow upon his clients in their ever evolving journey into self mastery!Show Notes:(3:05) Yury’s background and how he got to where he's at today.(7:58) Ryan's journey.(10:10) Self healing & the ability to gain willpower. (17:27) Join the Highly Optimized Ceremony Circle!(23:10) Yuri & Ryan talk about cold plunges.(31:10) Helping one find the yin with the cold.(45:15) Practicing mental jujitsu with negative thinking & the benefits of breath work.(50:17) Yuri's view on breath work.(1:02:25) Where to find Yuri.(1:04:09) FINAL Question.This episode was produced by Mazel Tov Media in Quincy, Massachusetts.Purchase Organic High Quality THCA Hemp Flower (use code HIGHLY at checkout for a discount): https://sacredsmokecollective.com/
